ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY AMID MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS, U.S. TARIFFS

李 "한-중남미 에너지 협력 Hello and welcome to Press Perspective for this Tuesday JULY 28th here in Seoul. I'm Min Sunhee. South Korea's economic future is increasingly being shaped by events far beyond its borders and in light of this reality the Lee Jae Myung administration this week is seeking joint solutions with its counterparts in Latin America. For more I have Celio Fioretti with French daily La Croix. Celio welcome back. I also have Professor Kim Yong-Jin at Sogang University live on the line. Professor Kim it's good to have you on. 1) Celio, let's start with the economic gains of President Lee Jae Myung's latest diplomatic trip to San Francisco and Latin America. 2) And now Professor Kim, in chronological order, how do you respond to the $950 billion AI cooperation framework in light of the president's AI summit in San Francisco? 3) Professor Kim, what is the relevance of Latin America with regard to South Korea's AI initiatives? 4) Meanwhile Celio, what has been the South Korean stock market response to the Lee administration's AI campaign in the U.S.? 5) Celio, let's turn to another major economic issue. Renewed military clashes between the U.S. and Iran are disrupting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and more recently, in the Red Sea. What's the latest on this front and its impact on global oil prices? 6) Professor Kim, how concerned should the South Korean economy be about the renewed fighting in the Middle East and its broader impact? 7) Celio, late last week, the Trump administration unveiled new tariffs on American trade partners including South Korea under Section 301. What's been the global response to these latest blanket import duties? 8) Professor Kim, do you believe the 15% tariff agreed between South Korea and the U.S. last year remains valid? Also, what strategy would you recommend for the Korean government moving forward? All right. #SouthKorea #Diplomacy #Economy #AI #Oil_price #Tariffs #CelioFioretti #KimYongJin #대한민국 #인공지능 #유가 #관세 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Youtube :    / channel   📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2026-07-28, 17:30 (KST)
